Ewww, I know. As cringey as that app is with all the fetuses dancing in overly provactive ways for their age (where are there parents?!) Us adults are slowly realising everyone and their aunt has at least downloaded the app. All the known public figures and celebs are alos on it so it may be time to dismount are (very well founded) high horses and download the cursed app.
Why? Weellll (reminds me of that cheese string advert from the UK anyone remember it? Shall I link it? I’m in a silly goose mood so okay)
Anyway, as I was saying, it’s really the app to have right now if you have heard of the possibility of monetising online platforms, if you have a product you would like to advertise/increase awareness of or if you are simply looking to be entertained (hear me out on the last one). This is because the creators of this app have done a really good job of equalising the playing field on this app.
For one, it’s easy to end up on the trending page and thus easier to grow. Whilst other apps like youtube and instagram show your content if it has more view and engagment and how highly you rate on these apps (it’s a whole numbers game). On tik tok it’s more about offering your content to people who might enjoy it. The app operates on curating content for the watcher, it’s very clever and very individual based if that makes sense.
Furthermore, I find it to be a great source of inspiration for making content elsewhere like youtube. Short videos I see give me inspiration for longer form content that I could record. (Inspiration not plagiarism).
It’s currently the most active app in the social media world for sure. So you are gonna get the most eyes on your content, so it makes the effort you put into your content even more worth it.
As it is in it’s relatively early days you still have the opportunity to become a big creator on the app and then move a good proportion of these followers onto other platforms. The more platforms the more revenue streams.
Essentially, what I’m trying to say catch the wave before it’s too late. I got on the app a little late too but I’m still going to try my best to get as much traffic to my youtube as possible. The wave has very much taken off but it’s never too late but there is no better time than the present.
So if you are looking to grow your social media present or have a business, hop on that app. It could do wonders for your business/wallet.
Thanks for reading, have a great day!

P.S Perhaps, I’ll task myself in hacking the algorithm and growing my tik tok to being a creator (you have to have over 10k followers) if I manage this I’ll post my tips/findings. Okay bye!
